Filled with eye-catching images of 100 styles from around the globe, The World Atlas of Street Fashion is a celebration of those who dare to think differently. From the Chinese skinheads of Beijing to the feminist funkeiras of Sao Paolo, the raggare of Stockholm to the Junglists of Whistler, this is world street style as you've never seen it before. Street style exists to turn heads and create comment. The message can be one of resistance, subversion, musical affiliation, or a combination of all three. A group of likeminded individuals can create a powerful sartorial force, moving beyond fashion's mere billboards for the latest brands. Organised geographically by continent, this book examines street style in all its international diversity, by tracing the many and varied ways in which it has developed in different regions of the world. Written by acclaimed fashion historian Caroline Cox, The World Atlas of Street Fashion offers a ground-breaking portrait of world street style.
